If the button is grey, you cannot bid for one of the
following reasons:
o The vehicle sold
o The vehicle “no sales”: the vehicle did not get any bids,
or the seller chose not to sell at the offered price.
If a vehicle is already on the block when you enter the sale,
you will not be able to bid on it. You will be eligible to bid
as soon as the vehicle crosses the block.
